What a wonderful family,so sorry to hear about Momma Doile, even thouhg she had a wonderful full life, she will be missed by many.

I would always get tickled, she would come to Memphis to visit Phyllis and I and she loved to shop with Phyllis. One time she had just arrived and we were setting in the kitchen and Momma Doile got up and put on her coat and said I am ready " to go shopping", ha a wondeerful woman.

I loved Momma Doile she was always very nice to me.

Yes, I still love Phyllis very much and now she and Molla Dlile will get to spend some time in heaven.

Logan, sorry about your loss! What so impressed me was how your mom and dad always made me feel important: just as important as anybody else. Your mom was indeed the lady and he the gentleman! You were blessed. May God hold you close to Himself and give you His peace through faith in our wonderful Christ! That is my prayer.

Dear family, I have so many memories and much love for you all. I worked with Mr. & Mrs. Cothern for 10 years in the Bald Knob store. I watched the grandchildren grow up. I feel like the Mr. & Mrs. Cothern helped to make me what I am today. I will never forget the love and confidence they gave me. It was so good to see you all at the visitation and the memorial service. Love, Theresa Jones

Logan,
I wish I could be with you and your family at this sad time. When your Mother and Dad moved to Bald Knob they brought qualities that made it a better town in so many ways. You have added that same quality in all you do. I love your family.
